Introduction

Our goal is to make life easier for planners by replacing the current labour-intensive manual data gathering process with a much faster automated system driven by AI. By streamlining delivery of site and project specific planning information, we estimate that we can improve productivity by at least fifteen per cent.

Led by Prof. Harald Braun, an expert in AI solutions for the public sector, and Ewa Moskwiak, a RIBA Chartered Architect, and supported by the UK Innovation Agency and venture capital, PlanningHub transforms a process that is lengthy, frustrating and prone to errors and omissions. We do that by automating gathering information for pre-planning advice, for validating and for considering of planning applications. At the moment, in England, we can fully streamline access to planning information for domestic applications (which account for over 40%). As a result, planners will be able to spend more time on more challenging applications, consultations and informed decision-making.
Right now, we are implementing functionality to cover more complex projects like conversions, changes of use and new residential developments.

PlanningHub is the first company in the world to apply such innovative technology within a complex planning system. We are currently inviting Local Planning Authorities to pilot our system for domestic planning applications. Our intention is to roll out PlanningHub’s services throughout the UK and overseas.

Testimonials

I think PlanningHub can improve the relationship between Local Planning Authorities, planners and the public by speeding up the process of planning applications and making it easier for non-planners to understand. People didn’t think it would work, but I’ve seen it in action, and I’m impressed.

As a RIBA architect experienced in planning and architecture, I recognise the potential of PlanningHub's technology to tackle challenges in the sector.
